7 Ups & 5 Downs From IMPACT Slammiversary 2023 (Review)

6. FINALLY

The Knockouts World Tag Team Championships were reintroduced at Bound For Glory 2020, but only now do the belts mean something - and it's down to The Coven and MK Ultra.

The quartet worked a lively match, the division's first since the belt's 2020 rebirth (or ever, if you weren't keen on the Sarita and Taylor Wilde unit in 2009), that focused heavily on re-establishing the division as one worth investing in. Wilde and KiLynn King were great at cutting the ring off, while Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly gelled together throughout the match. When they ultimately toppled The Coven, it was evidently the right choice; the Windsor audience lapped it up.

Putting a weighted significance behind the Knockouts World Tag Team Championships has been overdue on IMPACT's list of priorities. The titles were brought back when the division was booming, but it quickly turned into a sour state of disarray with mish-mash teams battling it out in uninspired and lazily worked matches and angles. Here's hoping the style of The Coven vs. MK Ultra continues, at least through 21 October's Bound For Glory.
